Wanted: Dead or Alive!
TGIF Today God Is First, by Os Hillman - 17 April 2007
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Eph 6:12).
In the old west it was common to see a poster on the wall of the town jail or post office with a man's picture below the words: Wanted: Dead or Alive! These were the most notorious criminals who posed the greatest danger to society.
Let me ask you a personal question. Is there a "Wanted: Dead or Alive" poster in hell with your name on it? Are you a real danger to hell? Do you cause problems for Satan's legion of demons? Are you pushing back Satan's agenda on planet earth?
Are the unsaved in danger of receiving salvation through you? Will someone receive healing because you dared to pray for them? Will someone's life be impacted because you chose to pray for them in your workplace during a difficult time? Will a city be impacted for Jesus Christ because of you?
Millions of believers sit on the sidelines everyday having no impact on the Kingdom of darkness. Their names will never appear on a Wanted poster in hell because Satan sees that they are no threat. However, God wants you to be a threat to Satan's kingdom.
What are some things you can do that will pose a threat to Satan's agenda? Perhaps you can begin praying for one of Satan's most notorious talk show personalities. Or maybe you are called to visit an elderly home to bring the love of Christ into a lonely place. There are many ways you can earn a reputation in hell.
Are you willing to be a force to be reckoned with by Satan's legions?

Today's Prayer
April 17, 2007
Dear God, Thank You for being gracious and hearing my prayers. Please forgive me of my sins and shortcomings; guide me and give me strength through the Holy Spirit to do what is right. I pray that I will be a true and worthy ambassador of Christ in my own part of this world. I pray also for those who preach, teach, and minister as a profession, that You will bless them, encourage them to remain faithful, meet their every need, keep them safe from all harm and evil, and help them to always be mindful of their position in Christ and their awesome responsibility before You and the people to whom they minister. May every ambassador represent You and Your love well and be pleasing to You. May You be glorified as Your Word is preached and lived. May souls be brought to the Cross and ushered into Your family of faithful believers. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
